CHURN-DASHER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 349,854, datedSeptember 28, 1886.

Application filed Jnne15,1SS6.

T0 all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, Janus B. llIELLOR, a citizen of the United States,residing at Baltimore, in the State of Maryland, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Ohnrn- Dashers, of which the following isa specification.

My invention relates to an improved churndasher; audit consists of animprovement on the dasher for which Letters Patent of the United States,numbered 110,487, were ranted me December, 1870.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of the dasher anda sectional view of the churn-barrel. Figs. 2 and 3 are different sideviews of the dasher.

The letter A designates the barrel of a churn; B, the shaft, which isfixed in bearings c d in the heads of the churn, and has outside of onehead a projecting end, 13, to which may be attached a crank or othermeans for turning it.

In the present instance the churn is shown standing on one head upright.Two arms, 0, are attached to the shaft at one end, and each upon anopposite side from the other, and both of said arms incline upward fromtheir attached ends. \Vhen the barrel A is standing on one end, asshowmand the shaft B revolved, the movement of the two upward-inclinedarms 0 will give to a large part of the cream an upward motion. To thatposition of the cream, however, which lies on the bottom head of thechurn this upward motion is not imparted. Two additional arms, f, haveposition and extend parallel with the shaft B, and point straightdownward, and are pro vided with holes 9. These parallel arms are eachfixed to the lower end of a downward-inclined arm, 71, whose upper endis attached to the shaft B at or near the other end.

The

downward-projecting arms fh project from sides of the shaft differentfrom the upwardinclincd arms 0, and, considered with refer" ence to theshaft-axis, these arms f h project at right angles with respect to thearms 6. Thus each downward-pointing arm embraces an upper portion, 71,which inclines, and alowor portion, f, which is parallel with theshaft.The movement of these armsfh produces not only a downward motion of thecream, but the lower parallel portion, f, having its lowerend free orunattached, most effectually breaks up the counter-currents and agitatesand breaks up the cream on the bottom head whichis n11- disturbed by theupward inclined arms. A dasher thus constructed is found in practice tobe very rapid in its action 011 the cream, and very much superior to thedasher shown in my former patent above referred to.

Having described my invention, I claim and desire to seen re by LettersPatent of the United States.

A churn comprising the barrel A and revolnble shaft 13, having at oneend two upwardinclined arms, 0, each attached at an opposite side, andat or near the other end two downward-pointing arms projecting from adifferent side of the shaft and at right angles with respect to thefirst-named arms, each of said downward-pointi11g arms consisting of anup per portion, 71., which inclines downward, and a lower portion, f,which is parallel with the revoluble shaft and has its lower end free orunattached, as shown and described.

In testimony whercofI ailix my signature in the presence of twowitnesses.

JAMES P. MELLOR.
